I do blame the government, but that doesn't mean the corporations get let off the hook. Of the two, I would say corporations hold more of the blame for poverty. Wages have been stagnant since the 70's, and banksters manipulate the market so that more and more wealth gets continually redistributed into their pockets. Most of the politicians are owned by the same corporations, and do their bidding.

I'm not saying we should keep the government, I'm saying we should get rid of both of them.
